Best Bookstore for New Books

Barnes and Noble

Readers Pick

If there ever was a time when we needed superheroes, it's now. Barnes and Noble is a place where you can go to learn how to become one. Ethics, politics, history, diet, exercise, wardrobe, engineering—you name it, and they have books on it, so you can learn everything you'd ever want to know about making the world a better place, either in your imagination or in the real world. You can even find books detailing the adventures of your favorite hero. They sell e-readers for the more technologically advanced, and you can order just about anything that's not in stock. Borders just biffed it in the mega-bookstore wars, but B&N soldiers on.
